I Think That I Will Crack One Open Right Now.....

take the beer out of the fridge. But now put it on the counter and leave it there five or 10 minutes before drinking. Beer is fragile and needs to be refrigerated, but when it's ice cold, it has scarcely any aroma. It should be about halfway between refrigerator temperature and room temperature, about 10 degrees Celsius for lagers and up to 15 for ales.
Today's Standard has a piece on how to properly drink beer.

I usually only drink draft beer when I am out. And here is why I prefer it.
One reason that draft beer has such a good reputation is that casks and kegs are stored and shipped under refrigeration. Bottled beer, because it's likely to be handled carelessly, is usually pasteurized in the hope of protecting it from the worst of this sort of treatment, but pasteurizing takes out part of the flavor.
Enjoy your night out!
